My other confirmed bookings (not from this deal) are also missing... The BA app lists an error in BA´s systems... They´ll be back :-)

Maybe they just hit the big red EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN button :-)

In my confirmation received earlier....

Please check the details of the items purchased are correct. If you have made a mistake, you may cancel your flight booking and claim a refund without penalty, up to 24 hours from when you made the original booking. Refunds under these circumstances can only be requested by calling our contact centres.

Out of curiosity, what site were you using to find these routes?

It is officially GONE. BA website don't show the fare any more.

Let's see how BA will act for all issued and wether will honor them or just cancel them!

What your point, it's been gone for about 3hrs (and numerous posts) already.

Did you get the LX flights on 125?
+1.

I am 99% certain LX will not honour these fares. They fought back hard re: the RGN mistake fares a few years ago and even won in Canada.

Booked one trip with B772/B773 outbound and B744 inbound and one trip with B789 outbound and A388 inbound.
Will cancel one of these, which one provides the best experience? Leaning towards keeping the B789 and A388 but would like to fly in the nose of the B744.
Right decision product/experience wise to chose B789/A388?

Apparently, only very few people booked LX F on this (seems not many were aware of the routing options) - besides myself, I don't have seen ANYONE actually having booked LX F. And if they don't know about it, they won't cancel it

I think it's the LX segments that represent the greatest danger on that itinerary...

I think he mentioned MH being dangerous not on grounds of not being allowed to fly, but rather to end up somewhere in the Southern Indian ocean (or flying over an active warzone..)

Ended up ticketing FRA-LHR-HKG-KUL and same return. Got the 777 not the 388 nor the 789
Still F

HKG-KUL is on CX

Yeah, I wouldn't risk LX either. Flying under the radar might be safe, but you never know.

I'd be more worried about MH shuffling flights with the network changes that mess up the itinerary.
